Have anyone build nest box that allow the egg roll off the nest after hen laying? I have some idea, but never build one so not sure will work.

I don't have any problem building nest box. However, I do want to try build one that all the eggs roll down to one end for pickup. I though it fun project to try.

That link is for rollout nest boxes.

Make a normal nest box that is sloped backwards with a three inch hole in the back. Then put some wire and roll it up. This will keep the egg from hitting the ground.

I think the OP is saying the the eggs will roll out. not the nest box. Interesting idea.

The link I posted is for what is commonly called a roll-out nest box. As in, the EGG rolls out of the nest box, not that the nest box rolls anywhere.

I built a rear rollout nest box according to Opa's instructions. I love that nest box! The eggs roll down away from the hen, I lift the lid, take out the egg(s), and never disturb the hens. Very handy.
